I love this!
Whilst rummaging through my Instapaper queue for some lunchtime reading I found this video.
I was struck by this comment:
thousands of people… working long hard hours, at jobs they hate, to buy things they don’t need, to impress people they don’t like
OK so this is perhaps a little overly dramatic, but it’s not that far from the truth for many people I think.
There’s got to be a better way. Right?
As somebody that can barely write legibly I find this utterly enthralling.
Channel hopping late last night I stumbled across the 50 Greatest Guitar Heroes on MTV; a rather drawn out, ad filled marathon of a programme.
Luckily I happened upon it at just the right moment to see the Rolling Stones performing ‘Satisfaction’ live. A performance which includes this wonderful moment where a fan rushes the stage; Keith Richards sees him coming and deals with him with style and aplomb hardly missing a beat.
And this is why Keith cannot be destroyed by conventional weapons.
This is fantastic.
From Vimeo:
An experimental film in homage to Ridley Scott’s legendary futuristic film “Blade Runner” (1982).
Created by extracting 167,819 frames from ‘Blade Runner’s final cut version, then assembling all these images to obtain one gigantic image of colossal dimensions : a square of approximately 60,000 pixels on one side alone, 3.5 gigapixels.
A virtual camera was then placed above this big picture which creates an illusion, because contrary to appearances, there is only one image. It is in fact the relative movement of the virtual camera flying over this massive image that creates the animated film, a kind of “zootrope effect”, like a film in front of a projector.
The whole concept echoes one of the signature scenes from the film where “Deckard” (Harrison Ford) analyzes a photograph via voice recognition software.
